Re: [RBW] Re: Front basket rack recommendations

['William Watson' via RBW Owners Bunch]

I bought a Manivelle rack for my wife's bike, she likes it a lot! Most are 
in silver or black, but we bought this cool pink/retro style one. I bought 
it through my LBS though.

Re: [RBW] Re: Front basket rack recommendations

Pelago makes great racks that can attach to eyelets or through the axle 
(and then attach a Wald 139). The RBW rack is available through Blue Lug 
(Japan) for appx $100 less than sourcing it here in the states. You will 
pay a little bit for shipping, but it allows you to justify adding a bunch 
of fun Blue Lug stuff to your order

Oh boy. That is a brilliant use of the Tumbleweed rack If only The Sam 
fork had those mounts on the fork I really really dig that. As far as 
the Tunitas 137 Basket Tote in the Wald 139 basket, I tried a Tunitas 139 
Basket Bag in the 139 basket and it was way too snug, no wiggle room and I 
really had to jam it in there to get it to feel right. The 137 Basket Tote 
just fits better. Similar issues with the Sackville ShopSack Large vs.

Re: [RBW] Re: Front basket rack recommendations

[DavidP]

Hi Alex,

Just double checking - but you mention a Wald 139 basket (the larger one) 
and the Tunitas 137 tote (the one designed for the Wald 137 basket).

If you are looking for the larger basket, then the Pelago Rasket may be 
worth a look. It's another combo basket and front rack and the basket is 
slightly larger than the Wald 139.
